Keeping busy on cold winter days

My backyard in early December, now covered over with ice.

So it has been a busy week. Hubby has been gone and is home now only to find the creek beside us has risen and flooded one of his storage sheds. It has been very cold here -32 Celsius most mornings, so the ice level is building. It is pretty to look at but the damage is could case not so nice.

Workshop quilt done in blue and white,
 not quite  finished the other one.

On the sewing front I had two of my three guilds to go to this week. On Tuesday I was teaching a workshop of a fairly simple pattern that I picked up awhile back.I have done my pattern in blue and whites and the sample I made up was done is purple,black and gold for a gift for someone.Lots of simple flip and sewing....actually quite mind numbing.Also gave out the first clues for a mystery quilt. I found the pattern in a magazine and thought it lend itself nicely to being a mystery. As soon as I figure out how to do photos on here I will upload some.

Yesterday a smaller guild I belong to had a work day. We have been working on charity quilts. We decided that charity begins at home and so one of the quilts is for one of our members that is in the middle of treatment for breast cancer. So today was groceries and  maybe tomorrow I will get to see my sewing room after I go knitting with my girls.
